You, as a financial advisor, are about to enter the perfect storm. Several factors are lining up to make the next ten years the most challenging years that you will ever face in your practice.


In 2009 Fidelity surveyed 350 advisors. More than 84% indicated that they had been touched by someone in their client base who suffers from Alzheimer’s Disease. Despite their experience with the disease, more than 96% of the advisors did not feel that they were prepared to assist clients with Alzheimer’s. And things have not changed since that survey. Very few firms have stepped forward with specific guidelines for their advisors to deal with diminished capacity.


You may have already had to deal with a client with diminished capacity. But most likely you do not have a standard protocol to deal with this client. As a result, you play it by ear. This is like holding a ticking time bomb. Sooner or later it is going to go off, and a client or client’s family will go after you for handling their account improperly.
